You might also consider contacting local community foundations, service organizations and businesses in your area, or your state department of education, which may provide school site-based grants in support of educational technology.

Periodicals with Grant Information

This magazine addresses multiple technologies used in K-12 schools today. Selected full-text content is now available online. The site includes a Grants, Funding, Free Resources section, which posts technology-related news and links.

Corporate and Foundation Grants

A professional association for technology, innovation, design and engineering educators. The Grants/Scholarships/Awards section provides information on support programs offered by the Foundation for Technology Education and ITEEA. Opportunities are available to ITEEA members only.

Committed to improving K-12 education, the Foundation offers funding to education organizations in support of various programs that focus on the areas of math and science. Applications are reviewed continually (no deadline). The site also lists several affiliates within Toyota that also give grants.

Government Grants

The NSF supports research and education in fields such as math, computer science, and the social sciences through grants, and contracts to colleges, universities, and other research and/or education institutions in all parts of the United States. NSF funds about 10,000 new awards annually. The foundation accounts for about 20 percent of federal support to academic institutions for basic research.

Technology Donation Programs

Through its Recycling Computers for Education program, the CRC has been placing refurbished computers in California public schools and nonprofit education programs for the past 15 years. In so doing they’ve been able to keep over 100,000 items out of landfill. CRC also provides community and after-school training.

The Computers for Learning program donates surplus federal computer equipment to schools and educational nonprofit organizations, giving special consideration to those with the greatest need. Any public, private, or parochial school serving preK-12 students in the United States or its territories is eligible. (Daycare centers must provide a state-approved preschool curriculum.)

Each year, thousands of companies contribute hundreds of millions of dollars in newly manufactured products through Good360. To receive product donations and discounts, registration with Good360 , or one of their Community Redistribution Partners, is required.

I am all in favor of continuing technology education. However, am I missing something here? In a time where I believe society needs the arts desparately to stimulate thinking, conversation and growth, why are there no opportunities for grants etc... in the arts.

My daughter attends a small, non-profit school for kids with learning disabilities. She is a Girl Scout Cadette and for her Silver Award project wants to set up a small library in her school. Any suggestions on where she could apply for support would be greatly appreciated!

http://www.grantwatch.com GrantWatch.com is the only website to post federal, state, city, local and foundation grants on one website, categorized by type and updated daily. All our grants are current and expired grants are archived daily. New grants are posted daily. Anyone can sign up for free to receive a weekly email of new grants posted. If they link to GrantWatch.com through Twitter or Facebook they will receive instant updates of new grants posted.

Grant writers at GrantWatch.com spend hours and hours researching grants for the website. They read through the grants and publish all the information needed for an executive director to determine their organization is eligible for the funding opportunity. Typically the instructions for a government grant can exceed 30 pages and often-times nonprofits miss submission deadlines and/or deadlines for submitting question and answers, letters of intent and pre-application webinars. All posts on GrantWatch.com include the important grant information, applications, deadlines and contact person information.

The School Funding Center is another searchable grants database worth checking out. They also have a grant alerts service to notify you when new grants matching your criteria have been added to the database.http://www.schoolfundingcenter.info/

The variety of grants that are made available to such diverse non-profit organizations and other educational settings is truly amazing! As a student, I actually had the opportunity to receive a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation as a result from my commitment year to a program with Arizona State University working in an Early Childhood Education setting.

I enjoyed reading the comments expanding this thread to different resources. I was wondering if there were any grant opportunities for a preschool setting such as KinderU or Educare?
